Description

» English Description

Robert Tyas, 1843, Popular Flowers, p.86. No description or history. Loddiges Catalogue, 1844, p.7. Originated in England. Note: There are three cultivars to which this name has been applied. There is the original valid one; Gheldorf, Const., 1844, Catalogue of Plants and Price List, p.12: Handsomely imbricated double, deep reddish carmine; a second cultivar is the sport of Mathotiana Alba; the third one is a sport of Julia Drayton as ‘Mathotiana’, which is the cultivar distributed in the USA and is illustrated in the Macoboys's "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Camellias" at page 171. Note: "Rosea Superba" is an Italian name. "rosea" does not mean "rose" but pink or rose or carmine fading into another color, e.g. carmine to light pink. A good example of "rosea" "Virginia Franco Rosea' (see).
